Is WikiAlerts available without a full Five Blocks engagement?

Yes. WikiAlerts™ is free, standalone, and open to anyone. No Five Blocks engagement is required.

Getting started takes three steps:

1. Sign up at wikialerts.fiveblocks.com.
2. Add the Wikipedia articles you want to monitor, your own pages, executives, or any article worth watching.
3. Receive notifications whenever those articles are edited.

Why it’s free and standalone

Real-time monitoring of Wikipedia is a basic part of any reputation program, and keeping it free removes a cost barrier for the wider industry. Many WikiAlerts users have never been Five Blocks clients and never will be, and the tool works the same for them. When users do become clients, WikiAlerts connects to the rest of their program; when they don’t, it keeps running for free.
